A history: Monuments to Courage, a History of Beaver County

mcbooki066p040: History of North Creek (cont.), North Creek Sunday School

July 4th, 1900, by a party consisting of Orrin Puffer, William A. Twitchell, James Valentine, and William Man-hard. There still are deer, a few mountain lions, coyotes and bob cats. Fox are very scarce. Beaver, having been imported and protected, are plentiful along the north and south forks of North Creek. Fishing is still good in these streams.
Today, (1947) North Creek is one of the progressive farming areas of Beaver County. Tractors are replacing teams. Combines, balers, trucks, machinery of all kinds, extensive irrigation and soil conservation are increasing the productivity of the land. Electricity, brought in by an R.E.A. line in 1941, has brought running water and electrical appliances to make the homes comfortable and convenient. Those who braved the ruggedness and isolation to settle North Creek deserve the gratitude and thanks of their descendants.
NORTH CREEK SUNDAY SCHOOL
Henry Green of North Creek was made Presiding Elder of the North Creek Branch of the Beaver Stake. He served in this capacity for a number of years. His wife, Mary Marshall Green, was a devout Sunday School worker, having served for nearly thirty-five years. She furnished bread for the Sacrament for nearly twenty-five years. Her love for little children of the Branch was expressed in her devotion to the kindergarten classes. "Aunt Polly," as she was commonly called, planned many a party and picnic for them.
When times were hard and shoes were scarce, Mary Green, rather than miss her Sunday School classes, made herself moccasins of heavy material and wore them to meeting.
